chloro

The association of decreased survival with hydroxychloroquine or chloro-quine treatment regimens should be interpreted cautiously.

It's neither a sugar nor an ose: it's C12H19Cl3O8 also known as (1→6)-Dichloro-(1→6)-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside.

Eg I’ve heard of para-chloro(meth)amphetamine showing up a few times, which is used intentionally as a neurotoxin to permanently destroy neurons.

Yah I chloro is used to communicate that a chlorine atom is somewhere present in the molecular structure of the compound.

Other chemicals that fall into 2A are tetra-{flouro|chloro}-ethylene[1] and dimethyl sulfate[2].

Have you ever wondered how people find out the exact combination of complicated molecules (tri-ethyl bi-methyl chloro fluoro benzo whatever) that help treat a specific disease?

I'd try the stuff, if they didn't put 1,6-Dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside in it.

>Getting rid of the chloro-flouro stuff makes lots of sense, but not producing any of it in the first place would be even better.

§1.0.1 Emissions resulting from human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, chloro­ fluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrous oxide.

It's not so much that particular chemical, as it is the chlorine makeup of the chemical (the -chloro part); you could probably generate such gas by heating and vaporizing household bleach or pool chemicals that have chlorine in them, if you wanted to.

The whole reason we moved to these chemicals is that we needed to move away from the "chloro-" carbons which were ozone layer hazards precisely because they decomposed.

”All I know is χλωρο is "Chloro" as in Chlorophyll” It also is “Chlor” as in Chlorine (the element).

Remember the moratorium and then ban on CFCs (Chloro fluoro err thingies) and how the Arctic was errr fixed?

Chloroquine (not hydroxy, good old chloro) is used in Central Asia.

These are all brand names for methylisothiazolinone (or 5-Chloro-2-Methyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-One).
